LETS GO MOUNTAINEERS!
Here We Go Steelers!
Very disappointing, for all the reasons I mentioned in the other thread.
This front office can't do anything right
stupid move
I think they made the right decision to have some stability in the WR position with a player they invested in and developed.
Steelers match offer for Emmanuel Sanders

Getty ImagesThe Steelers had a decision to make Sunday about whether or not to match the offer sheet wide receiver [URL="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/5885/emmanuel-sanders"]Emmanuel Sanders[/URL] signed with the Patriots and they’ve made their call.
Jordan Woy, Sanders’ agent, sent out a tweet announcing that the Steelers have [URL="https://twitter.com/JordanWoy/status/323559382371680256"]decided to match[/URL] the offer rather than accept a third-round pick as compensation from New England. Sanders now stands to make $2.5 million in 2013 under the terms of the offer he accepted from New England.
The Steelers can now try to work on a longer deal with Sanders in order to lower that cap number and keep him in Pittsburgh for a few more years. If they don’t, Sanders will be on track to become an unrestricted free agent after the season.
The Patriots will now likely look to the draft to round out their receiving corps. They re-signed [URL="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/5440/julian-edelman"]Julian Edelman[/URL] to go with [URL="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/4991/danny-amendola"]Danny Amendola[/URL], but their pursuit of Sanders makes it clear that they have more they’d like to do at the spot before the 2013 season gets underway.

It will be interesting to see who is still on the board for the 91st pick. If they don't sign him long term, this is a mistake.
1. C.J. Mosley LB Alabama
2. Jordan Matthews WR Vanderbilt
3. (comp) Philip Gaines CB Rice
4. Arthur Lynch TE Georgia
5. Ross Cockrell CB Duke
5. (comp) Derrick Hopkins DT Virginia Tech
6. Josh Mauro DE Stanford
6. (comp) Shaquil Barrett OLB Colorado State
7. Quincy Enunwa WR Nebraska
I wonder if there is going to be tension between Sanders and A. Brown for his comments?
